Bunny Chainsaw is a leporid of the species Mucolepus magnapituita – commonly known as the Snotbunny. An age ago, way back in a time lost to the mists of evolution, the ancestral Snotbunnies decided the only way to deal with the bullying and mockery associated with their appearance was to become so fiercesomely poisonous and vicious that not even a honey badger would take them on. In fact, Snotbunnies are notorious for eating honey badgers when they can’t find candy canes or pineapples.

The only way to survive an encounter with a Snotbunny is to convince it you aren’t staring at it, and that you think it looks lovely – and completely normal, just like a regular bunny.

Too late. Bunny Chainsaw sees you. Oh yes. Bunny Chainsaw sees you are looking. Go on – convince Bunny Chainsaw you think Bunny is JUST like any other bunny…


Another automatic drawing that got totally out of hand XD A5, colour pencil, drawn on the train and in the breakroom – where one of my colleagues inadvertantly gave me its name… "its like putting something nice together with something horrible – like saying ‘bunny-chainsaw’ ".

I’m a neuroscientist by day, and an insomniac artist by night. Biology under my microscope inspires me to make art – on public transport, in between experiments, and late at night. I’m interested in the overlap between scientific concepts, biological images, and surreal art from our imaginations. I get an urge to blur the lines between these things. If there are any lines, that is…?
